About Africa Digital Economy Awards
Now in its 10th year, the Africa Digital Economy Awards (ADEA) will celebrate Africa’s digital champions, innovators, and transformative organizations shaping the continent’s digital future. Over the last decade, ADEA has aligned with the African Union’s digital transformation strategy, spotlighting pioneers whose creativity and innovation have driven growth, security, and progress in the digital economy.
The 2026 milestone edition will gather leaders from across sectors to honor ten years of impact — from emerging tech hubs to today’s thriving ecosystem of startups, fintech disruptors, and digital transformation frontrunners. More than an awards gala, ADEA 2026 is a platform for recognition, collaboration, and inspiration, reinforcing digital innovation as a driver of job creation, improved services, and sustainable development across Africa.
